USB 3.0 A-to-A extension cable
This 12-inch extension cable connects a USB-A male plug to a USB-A female port, adding reach for hubs, external drives or other peripherals. It is built to the USB 3.0 specification and works with existing USB 2.0 equipment. The over-moulded female connector protects the joint from physical stress. The black cable measures 13 inches end to end.
Simple plug-in installation
No drivers or tools are required; the cable seats firmly in standard USB-A ports. The moulded strain relief reduces the risk of a loose connection caused by repeated insertion. Users must ensure the combined length of all cables in the chain stays within the 16-foot USB limit, otherwise signal integrity can degrade. Exceeding that total length is the most common cause of unreliable operation.
Sustained transfer at up to 3Gbps
Under continuous load the link maintains throughput up to 3Gbps, well within the USB 3.0 ceiling. The short 12-inch run keeps voltage drop negligible, so attached drives or hubs do not throttle during long copies. Backward-compatible 2.0 devices operate at their native rates without extra configuration.
